[RVRC] ATTENTION! Very dangerous issue

[gar3j at earthlink.net]

Marv,

I agree. When a 14 year old high school student can get "concerned
citizens" to sign a petition banning Dihydrogen Monoxide ( chemical name
for water ), the average citizen can unfortunately be scared into believing
anything. This should definitely not be taken lightly. 

On a related note it seems as if ELF's activities aren't limited to amateur
radio. See the AP article I noticed on Doug Lung's RF report a couple of
weeks ago -
